Question 17

Ethan and Leo are classmates. Ethan has autism spectrum disorder (ASD), while Leo is neurotypical. During a science activity on astronomy, they are working together on a solar system poster. Leo places a shiny gold star sticker on the section representing Mars. The classroom teacher, Miss Vance, looks at the poster and then leaves the room to get some scissors.

While she is away, Leo decides the star looks better on Jupiter, so he peels it off and moves it to the Jupiter section. Leo then turns to Ethan and asks, "Where will Miss Vance look for the star when she gets back?"

Using your knowledge of theory of mind and the Sally-Anne study, explain Ethan's likely response.
